That flat thermal curve simplifies panel design when the breaker sits near other heat sources. Breaking capacity runs 242 kA at 240 V, 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 7.5 kA at 690 V. The shunt trip lets a remote signal — from a safety relay, PLC, or emergency-stop circuit — open the breaker independently of the overcurrent mechanism. The 138 mm width for a 3-pole 250 A frame is standard for SENTRON 3VA2 breakers — it drops into the same mounting footprint as other 3VA2 three-pole units, so a panel laid out for a 3VA2116-5HL32-0AK0 accepts this breaker without re-drilling the gland plate or reworking the bus bars. Maximum power loss is 37.5 W at rated load. That's moderate for a 250 A frame; factor it into enclosure ventilation if the panel is sealed or densely packed. That is unusual for a compact MCCB and simplifies coordination studies in warm enclosures. The storage floor matters for unheated warehouses in cold climates — the breaker can sit at -40 °C without damage, as long as it's not energized until it warms to within the operating band.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2325-6HL32-0KC0 SENTRON MCCB, 250 A, 3-Pole, 242","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2325-6HL32-0KC0 molded case circuit breaker, 250 A continuous, 3-pole, 242 kA breaking at 240 V.
